Confession

Submitted by Anikulapo

There is a poetry in your mind:
do chant before you face tyranny

And there is a song holding your lips:
do sing before you face prosecution

Whereas, there is a word in your voice;
please say before you die, here

as a solitary civilian in your country.

There is a story in your portraiture
do tell your protagonist about

The worst aspect to live as a serf
In this time of economy grammar—

This is a time for a confession
That I have lived a world
Where men do like women
And women do like men;

And the lustrous victims sleep
In the hours of sacrificial night.

– Anikulapo.
